Rodrigues\r\n\r\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\nNEWS\r\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n
\r\no RESENTMENT AGAINST the \'autocratic\' BJP regime, anger of the Bahujan Samaj (non-upper caste Hindus)
against ex-chief minister Manohar Parrikar\'s policies, the politics of vengeance and double-speak, a strong
Hindutva-line, personal vilification campaigns and unity among Congressmen(though temporary) seems to be the
major factors that led to the debacle of the BJP in the June 2 bye-elections. (H)\r\n\r\no GONE WITH THE
WIND: Congress blows off BJP, drubs Parrikar\'s arrogance 4-1 (GT)\r\n\r\no DISASTER AT HIGH NOON FOR
BJP: By noon on June 5, it was all over. Four defeats and one victory by proxy. The story of BJP\'s shattered dreams is
best told in figures. Not to be missed is that BJP finished third in Cumbharjua and a lowly fourth in Benaulim. (GT)\r\n\r\no DIGAMBAR KAMAT, BUT SECULAR MARGAO LOSES: Congress candidate Digambar Kamat powered a
win, but only just. It looked simple for him initially, but a dangerous polarisation not only narrowed his victory
margin, but also brought him to the precipice of defeat. But if it was not for some mature citizens, a communally loaded
campaign may have hit its target. Says Lok Shakti convenor Datta Naik, \"The attempt to polarise the voting is a
dangerous move and should be stopped at all costs.\" When the electronic voting machines were put on the table for
counting, the Congress appeared shocked when they realised that the BJP attempt to polarise the Hindu votes had
almost paid off. (GT)\r\n\r\no Two deputy CMs in new Congress government too. (H)\r\n\r\no
BJP says it will work as an effective Opposition. (H)\r\n\r\no Congress committed to secular government,
says Margaret Alva. (H)\r\n\r\no I will ask for everything, says Dr Wilfred de Souza. (H)\r\n\r\no BJP fails to hold on to Margao. (H)\r\n\r\no BJP office bearer, cop assaulted at Loliem. (H)\r\n\r\no People have rejected Parrikar, says Lok Shakti, calling the election results a slap on the face of the
former CM. (H)\r\n\r\no BJP FRAUD ON LAND OWNERS: Authilia Carvalho from Margao writes that the
ousted BJP government proposed \"with lightening speed\" to acquire land for construction of a ring-road and
missing-link along with land for rehabilitation of hutments for slum-dwellers at Margao. Carvalho says: \"A notification
has been invoked in violation of the law and issued in March last, i.e. after the BJP government fell. The above
notification is issued under a colourable exercise of power with malafides under the strong pressure of two BJP MLAs,
one of whom Vijay Pai Khot is a builder and has constructed a big project near the proposed ring road, and the other is
an ex-Margao MLA who has a personal interest as the slum dwellers are his vote-bank.\" (H)\r\n\r\no
DOCTOR\'S ORDERS: WILLY\'S PRESSURE TACTICS CLEARS DECKS FOR geriatric Rane as CM. Threat of Willy, Mickky,
Dhavlikar crossing floors may virtually force Congress to maintain status quo on Rane. Gomtantak Times quotes
\"insiders in the Congress\" to say that the Congress was pressured by \"a dangerous possibility of Dr Wilfred de Souza
accepting the BJP\'s last ditch desperate attempt to prop him up as Chief Minister\". This lead to upsetting of all
equations within the Congress. It also led to a day of hectic parleys when both the Luizinho Faleiro and Rane camps drew
battle lines (along with GPCC chief Ravi Naik, who fancied himself as a consensus dark-horse candidate), reports the
Gomantak Times, reporting on the situation on Sunday June 5. \r\n\r\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\nDEATHS &

BROTHERS threaten to give Goa League a miss. They\'ve entered their name for next season\'s Goa Professional League,
but have asked the GFA to consider their entry as \"withdrawn\" if the AIFF does not allow them to continue in the
premier National Football League. (H)\r\n\r\nBERNARD PIRES has also signed up for two different clubs, as
has his former teammate at Salgaocar, the stopper-back John Dias who signed for Dempo and East Bengal. With both
clubs determined to secure the talented midfielder, Bernard Pires could be in for some sleepless nights ahead. (H)\r\n\r\nGOA LOST TO Uttar Pradesh, despite a strong fight, and were out in the semis of the national mini

CORNER\r\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nLet\'s head back to Goa today. Here is a recipe that has been requested many times over. It can be served as an
appetizer or as a main course depending on the size of the rolls. \r\n\r\nPan Rolls\r\n\r\n1-cup flour\r\n2 large eggs\r\nMilk (enough for a thin batter)\r\nGround beef mince\r\nBreadcrumbs\r\nSalt to taste\r\n\r\nSieve the flour. Mix the flour with 1 egg and enough
milk to make a thin pancake like batter. Beat until smooth. Let it rest for about 15 minutes. Heat a frying pan; coat the
pan with a few drops of oil. Pour in a spoonful of batter, spread evenly and cook for about 2 minutes or so. Take the
pan off the fire remove the crepe. Let it cool. Put some mince in the center, tuck in sides and roll. Dip the roll in egg
wash (made from the second egg), dip in breadcrumbs and fry until light brown. It\'s that easy folks! Try it -- I promise
you will like it.\r\n\r\nCourtesy: Daisy Rodrigues from California\r\n\r\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\nPROMOTE

MUMBAI-BASED GOAN ADRIAN D\'SOUZA who has been showing great promise under the bar, is the new golden boy of
Indian hockey. The 20-year-old goalie raises the bar for Indian hockey, and has also been appointed the Indian captain
for the Junior Hockey World Cup. Said his school coach Joseph Monteiro: \"He is one of the most talented boys I have
trained and would definitely make it big.\" He was a prolific scorer for his St Anne\'s Bombay school, writes ZENA COSTA,
Margao. (GT)\r\n\r\no IT\'S LEFT TO CITIZENS TO TAKE ACTION? It may have been the World Environment
Day, but it meant little for a driver of a forest department truck, who was arrested on charges of dumping a truckload of
garbage on the national highway on the Mapusa-Bastora-Moira junction. Karl Pinto De Souza, driving home on Sunday
afternoon, noticed the dumping of iles, mud and stones and rubble in progress. Other members of the Moira Civic and
Consumer Forum and comunidade also gathered at the site and stopped the dumping. It is learnt the range officer tried
to work out a compromise by offering to clean up a whole stretch of garbage at Moira, if the complaint was withdrawn.
But the residents of Moira were determined to punish the guilty, as they felt this would set an example to others to
protect the environment and save the landscape. (H)\r\n\r\no Pratapsing Rane was sworn-in as chief

\'THE VOW\', translated by Xavier Cota: What a beautiful, heart-tugging story The Vow is. So much depth and lucidity in
expressing the old man\'s anguish and longing for his son, ad also the reaching out and response of the Padre to those
emotions of Camil. In fact, you yourself feel like reaching out and hugging Camil to comfort him. One read through the
story, half-expecting that the Padre would in fact turn out to be Jose. But the ending of the story is unexpected and
novel, leaving one happy that Camil\'s faith was not betrayed.

the Maharashtrian cuisine today. The landscape, the people and the crops grown in various regions largely influence
Maharashtrian cuisine. It is not only memorable for its subtle variety and strong flavors, but also because of the
legendary hospitality of Maharashtrian. In affluent homes, feasts often start at mid-day and end when the sun turns
towards the western horizon. Here is a Maharashtrian recipe for Eggplant-potato curry also known as vangi-batata
bhaaji)\r\n\r\nEggplant-potato curry\r\n1 big eggplant (aubergine)\r\n2 potatoes\r\n4 green chilies\r\n1-teaspoon turmeric powder\r\nPinch of asafetida\r\n1 1/2 teaspoon
mustard seeds or cumin seeds\r\n1/2 tsp of tamarind pulp\r\n1/2 tsp of black Maharashtrian masala
(optional)\r\n2 tsp coriander powder\r\nSalt to taste\r\nSugar/jaggery to taste\r\n1 tblsp
oil\r\nCilantro/coriander leaves to garnish\r\n\r\nChop eggplant into 1-inch pieces. Soak in salt
water to keep them from turning dark. Make 1-inch pieces of potatoes. Chop chilies and cilantro. Heat oil in a pan. Add
mustard seeds or cumin seeds. As the seeds crackle, add asafetida and turmeric powder. Add chopped chilies and fry.
Add potatoes and stir. Cover and cook them until partially cooked. Drain water from the soaked eggplant pieces. Add
them and fry for 5 minutes. Add 1/2-cup water, tamarind pulp, black masala, coriander-cumin powder, salt, sugar or
jaggery and cover until the pieces turn soft and the curry thickens. Garnish with coriander leaves. Serve hot. Variation:
Add green peas. Also, crushed ginger and garlic enhances the flavor. To thicken the curry, you may add 2 tsp peanut
powder. \r\n\r\nCourtesy: Daisy Rodrigues from California\r\n\r\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\nPROMOTE
